The biggest snubs and surprises of the 2018 Emmy Awards

The gala, television´s version of the Oscars, was expected to be a showdown between record-breaking fantasy epic "Game of Thrones" and last year´s best drama victor "The Handmaid´s Tale".

Netflix's trophies on Monday included five for The Crown, including best drama actress triumph for Claire Foy; four for Black Mirror; and three for Godless.

Johansson walked the red carpet at the Microsoft Theater with her partner, Saturday Night Live'sColin Jost, who is co-hosting the 2018 event, in an off-the-shoulder dress by Balmain and sparkling diamond accessories.

For best drama, the nominees are "GoT", "The Handmaid´s Tale", "The Americans", "Westworld", "The Crown", Netflix retro sci-fi mystery "Stranger Things", and NBC family saga "This is Us".

But people have opinions and we feel the need to make declarative statements about what is the best, so when Monday's 70th Primetime Emmy Awards concluded, everyone who watched had at least one gripe or grievance with who walked away with a statuette.

Her performance had already earned her a Golden Globe for Best Actress - Television Series Musical or Comedy for her role as Miriam "Midge" Maisel. For supporting actress, maybe it was case of splitting the vote, but none of the three women of Gilead took home the trophy, despite two of them winning Emmys a year ago.

Regina King was an unexpected limited series victor for playing the mother of a black teen killed by a white police officer in Seven Seconds.

Jost was of course taking a crack at the lengthy-and ongoing-hiatus between Thrones' seventh and eighth seasons.

"It's about a woman who's finding her voice anew, and it's one of the things that's happening all over the country now", she said. But it proved undeniable with 14 total nominations, the most ever for an Amazon series in a single year and second only to "Atlanta" (16) as the most nominated comedy of the year.

Bill Hader collected the best comedy actor award for Barry, a dark comedy about a hired killer who stumbles into a possible acting career. The Saint Ignatius College Prep grad noted that his wife refused to join him at the Emmys because she didn't want to watch him lose.

"I don't even believe in God, but I am going to thank her tonight", Newton said.
